cub scouts, selling flower bulbs

In order to earn money towards a trip to Battleship Cove the cub scouts need to sell Dutch Mill Flower Bulbs. We all went out on Saturday for a couple hours then we took just Tristan out on Sunday. Colin has a lot more in his cub scout account so doesn't need to earn extra above the trip. We had Tristan earn extra in case it can be used towards camp too. Colin has paid for his camp with sales but Tristan still needs to earn more towards camp. So anyway, off we went.

Still plenty of snow mountains around here, they are starting to look decidedly muddy now though.


Tristan strikes a few selling bulbs poses.






The best part of going door to door is meeting new friends. here is Tristan with his new friend Lola the Saint Bernard Puppy! The person was kind enough to let us take a picture with Lola. We also met a Rudy, a Winston both Bernese Mountain Dogs and a fair few labs, small yippy yappy dogs and of course some mutts.
Fundraising is not the best thing in the world to do but it's not all bad.

That's one cute puppy! Bulbs look like they will be easier to deliver than the mulch Jon had to load up. Good luck with the sales!
